It is documented (Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt), and this is not the internal Documentation/technical section of the documentation, so my default assumption would be that everything shown there is intended as public. I only bring this up as a question because it was apparently allowed to break. If I’m wrong and it isn’t public, other patches are needed (to the documentation and to its users in contrib).
